Kaylee waited, listening to the sound of the boots on the deck. Trying to work out which way they were going to go. They got closer and she turned to see who it was. Letting out a breath when she saw it was Jayne, waiting for some comment he had a bad habit of making. That never came.
"I was just checkin' t'make sure everthin' was okay." Her words were chosen carefully. Spoken evenly. But when he asked if she wanted to talk? She nodded. There could have been a torrent of words then. But she didn't go trust herself to say them. More importantly it gave her a damn good reason not to be on her own.
"Not here though." Which was the most out of place thing that Kaylee could say in sight of the engine room which since she'd arrived on Serenity everyone knew was the place to find her.
